School of Health Sciences

Matthew Adeyanju, Director
The School of Health Sciences is designed to serve students with diverse career interests: community health services, environmental and occupational health safety, and health administration. Basic preparation for these careers is accomplished by completing the professional curricula that lead to a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Health, Bachelor of Science in Health, or Bachelor of Science in Industrial Hygiene.
The opportunities vary for professional preparation in the school. Community health services prepare students for entry-level staff and management positions in public-health and health-promotion agencies, social task force agencies, and other noninstitutional health agencies. Students are taught the skills needed for assessing and planning health programs according to the needs of the community being served.
Environmental and occupational health and safety students focus their studies on factors that may cause or contribute to impaired health of individuals in any environmental setting. The industrial hygiene option deals with industrial hazards and how they affect individuals in the workplace. The environmental health option prepares students for a career in one of the many fields of public health. It also qualifies students to sit for the examination to obtain professional registration as a sanitarian.
Health administration programs focus on preparing students for entry-level management positions in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and other health delivery systems. Blending business techniques and tools with health care applications and principles, students are taught to deal with complex organizational structures and associated business complexities. Students electing to specialize in long-term care administration receive an undergraduate Gerontology Certificate and are eligible, upon completion of the degree, to sit for the Ohio and National Nursing Home Administrator's licensure examination.
Most programs provide either practica or internships in order to provide students with practical experiences complementary to their academic coursework.
Note: Most courses offered through the School of Health Sciences can be retaken up to two times (i.e., one initial registration and two retakes). Variable credit courses usually cannot be retaken (i.e., with the possibility of the initial grade no longer being figured in the accumulative grade point calculation) but can be repeated for credit to count toward your degree.

The industrial hygiene option prepares you for a career as an industrial hygienist. An industrial hygienist is concerned with evaluating and controlling workplace environmental exposures that affect workers' and the public's health. Industrial hygiene is one of the leading environmental professions. After graduation you will be competitive in an expanding job market with major corporations, and government agencies. In addition, the program will prepare you for admission to graduate school in industrial hygiene, environmental science, and public health. When you have completed the prescribed course of study and officially applied for degree conferral, you will be awarded the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Hygiene.

Health administration offers two options: health services administration and long-term health care administration. The health services administration option prepares you for entry-level management and staff positions in all sectors of the health care industry. You are prepared for positions in acute, subacute, and ambulatory care facilities such as hospitals, clinics, home health agencies, managed care organizations, and other emerging health delivery systems.
The long-term health care administration option prepares you for a career in the management of nursing and other long-term care facilities. It qualifies you to take the licensure examination of the Ohio Department of Health Board of Examiners for Nursing Home Administration, as well as the National Licensure Examination.
Note: If you pursue a dual major in health services administration and long-term health care administration, you will be required to register for and complete a separate internship (HLTH 481) for each major.
At the completion of either course of study and after official application for degree conferral, you will be awarded a Bachelor of Science in Health. Upon completion of the long-term health care administration option, you will also qualify for an Ohio University undergraduate Gerontology Certificate (see "Gerontology" at the beginning of the College of Health and Human Services section).
